The gouges, which are forged from ball bearing steel, are beautifully made and come sharpened ready to use. The Karlsson sweep system is based on the curve of a circle designated by the radius measured in millimeters. The gouges pictured are from Drews personal set. This HK-08 has been used for about 15 years now. Because the photos show the blade curvatures, the profile view bend is not apparent.

HK-10

40 mm width, 55 Karlsson sweep. Double hooped and bent. This is a large roughing gouge that can be struck with a steel head hammer.
